Harem vs. Reverse Harem

I looked through and only found a topic suggesting that harem be added as a genre (and obviously the suggestion was taken into account as harem is now a genre on MU).
I was wondering if reverse harem could also be added as a genre. Right now, I've noticed that series like Ouran High School Host Club and The Wallflower (Perfect Girl Evolution) are labeled as "harem" under the genre section. Harems refer to a guy surrounded by a lot of girls, where as a reverse harem is different: a girl surrounded by a bunch of guys. I use the genre search a lot to find new series to read and I always exclude "harem" because I'm not a big fan of them. However, I do like reverse harems, so it'd be nice if the harems could be filtered out and the reverse harems could be included.
Maybe this is being a bit nit-picky / particular. =P it's just a suggestion and it won't be life-altering if a reverse harem genre is or isn't added. XD

nah, its easier just to have harem describe both harems and reverse harems.

The "Harem" genre for the site includes reverse harems. You may want to note specifics in a series description though (for series that don't already have it)
